“I love the way you kiss, Logan.”

“Feel free to take advantage of my skills anytime,” I invite.

“I might take you up on that.”

I try not to moan as her fingernails make an upward motion and graze my nipple.

“I—” She stops when her doorbell rings and I bite down the stream of curse words that come to mind. “Oh no,” she whispers, her face going completely white. “Logan—”

I reach up and hold her face, when she’d move away completely. I force her to look directly at me.

“Breathe, Torrent.”

“That could be Wolf. Logan, if he catches you here… Oh God…”

“Torrent, baby, it’s going to be okay. Just breathe,” I tell her again.

“But—”

“I’ll hide and you get rid of them, tell them you were sleeping and not feeling well.”

“You can’t be here! If he sees you… If anyone sees you, Logan…”

“I’m not leaving until I’m sure you’re okay for the night.”

“I don’t think—”

She practically squeals when instead of the doorbell ringing again there’s a pounding on the front door that you can hear even here in her bedroom.

Someone is getting anxious.

I kiss her before she can scream when the man yells so loud you could swear he’s in the room with us and not through a locked door two rooms over.

“Torrent! Open the door!”

When we break apart, her eyes are wide. She brings her fingers up to her lips.

“That’s Red, not Wolf.”

“Put your robe on. I’ll be close by, so I’m promising you that you will be safe.”

“I—”

“Stop arguing and let’s get this done so that fucker will leave.”

“Okay,” she whispers and then she surprises me by kissing me this time and it’s a quick kiss, but the fact she takes the time to wrap her tongue around mine and growls into my mouth is nothing but encouraging. “Don’t leave,” she says and this time I’m the one that’s surprised. “Promise you won’t leave, Logan.”

“Wild horses couldn’t drag me out of here right now, Angel,” I swear to her.

“Then let’s get rid of that fucker,” she says with a grin and for some reason she looks completely at ease right now. I don’t know what brought on the change, but it’s good to see and I definitely want to stick around to see what my girl has on her mind.TorrentI feel like skipping on the way to the door. I’m dreading dealing with Red and whatever his damage is, but in my head there’s this voice sing-songing.

“Devil cares for me. He really cares for me.”

I’ve never really had a man that I’ve liked this much—never had someone in my life that was necessary except for my father. Devil has been different from the beginning. My reactions to him and the way he makes me feel are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. The simple truth here is that I care for him. I care… deeply for him, even if I shouldn’t.

“Try to leave my door hanging please,” I growl as I cinch the belt of my robe at my waist. I look over my shoulder nervously one last time to look for Devil. I don’t see him, and I guess right now that’s a good thing. Before I turn my deadbolt I take a deep breath and then force myself to look completely natural—and sleepy.

“About fucking time,” Red yells the second the door is open. I quickly jump in front of him when he’d come pushing his way inside.

“I was sleeping,” I lie. “Which, by the way, is what most sane people do at this hour. What do you want, Red?”

“Wolf called and said you weren’t answering your phone.”

I blink. I really hadn’t thought about my phone. I heard it ringing once, but I ignored it because I was enjoying spending time with Devil. I should feel guilty for worrying Wolf, I guess, but I don’t. I’m actually a little relieved I didn’t answer.

“My battery was down, so I turned it off and let it charge.”

“He wanted to talk to you,” he says stubbornly.

“Well, I’m sorry. There’s nothing I can do it about it now. I could call him?”

“He can’t talk now because he’s doing some business for the club tonight. He said to tell you he’ll call in the morning, but he’s going to have to be out of town for a couple of more days.”

“Oh. I hope everything is okay,” I murmur. I hope I sound upset, but inside I’m happy. That means I’ll have more time with Devil without the real world coming between us. I really am going to have to make some tough decisions—and soon—but for now I have this small reprieve and I’m glad.

“It’s fine. Wolf has everything under control. Your old man left things in a mess and Wolf has a lot of roads to repair,” he says and I immediately get pissed at his insinuation. “It’s club business,” he goes on. “Not your concern. Wolf has a big fucking headache to fix, but he will do it. Dodger burned a lot of fucking bridges, Tor.”
